Investigation of differently coated corrugated cardboard in terms of electrophotographic print chroma and hue angle

Abstract

Paper-Cardboard production sector renews itself day by day and evaluates alternative options to increase quality. At the same time, it has closely adapted to technological developments in the printing industry and has now managed to enter every home or office thanks to digital printing. Digital printing (inkjet-electrophotographic) has come to a level where it can replace some conventional printing techniques as a result of the quality prints it provides. Considering the ease of use and cost advantage, it becomes inevitable that this printing technique is one of the most common printing methods. In this study, the properties of corrugated cardboard with different coating properties in electrophotographic printing are investigated with parameters such as printing chroma, hue angle and gloss values. According to the results of the research, it is determined that corrugated cardboards coated with precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) gave more positive results in terms of both optical properties and electrophotographic print quality.
